Webcast: UC: Case Based Guideline and Positioning Review with Angelina Collins
In this IBD Community Network case-based discussion, Angelina Collins, NP, from UC San Diego reviews how healthcare professionals can evaluate and manage moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. Using a patient with persistent symptoms despite corticosteroids, mesalamine, and adalimumab, the session explores the differences between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, IBD diagnosis, disease phenotypes, poor prognostic factors, and measures of disease activity—including stool frequency, rectal bleeding, fecal calprotectin, CRP, colonoscopy findings, and the Mayo endoscopic score. The presentation also examines evidence-based ulcerative colitis treatment selection, AGA and ACG guidelines, therapy sequencing after anti-TNF exposure, steroid-sparing strategies, biomarker monitoring, repeat colonoscopy, and shared decision-making. Viewers will gain practical insights into recognizing an inadequate treatment response, selecting appropriately effective therapy early, and reducing the risks associated with ongoing inflammation, hospitalization, surgery, colorectal cancer, and other complications of uncontrolled ulcerative colitis.

Women of Childbearing Age With IBD
Thank you AbbVie for your support on this podcast episode. Navigating pregnancy with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can bring unique questions, concerns, and misconceptions—especially for women of childbearing age. In this expert-led episode, Janette Villalon, PA and Angelina Collins, MSN, ANP-BC, two dedicated IBD specialists break down the latest evidence and global consensus recommendations on pregnancy and IBD. Together, they explore fertility considerations, preconception counseling, voluntary childlessness, medication safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the impact of disease activity on maternal and fetal outcomes, and how to debunk persistent myths around IBD and pregnancy. Learn why remission at conception is critical, how to approach family planning conversations in the clinic, which therapies—including biologics and biosimilars—can be safely continued, and when to involve maternal–fetal medicine or colorectal surgery. The hosts also discuss managing flares during pregnancy, monitoring strategies such as fecal calprotectin each trimester, and when C-section may be recommended. This conversation provides timely, practical guidance to help clinicians counsel women with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis with confidence, reduce fears, and support healthy pregnancies and postpartum outcomes for IBD patients.
